First time posting - Here's my 'new to me' '13 XK-R
Firstly,
Thanks for letting me lurk around on this forum for the past 4 or 5 years. I bought a 2012 XF after reading from passionate owners about the reliability and quality of those luxury sedans. It was a great car and I really loved that 5.0 V8! I have been bitten by the Jag's fangs and fell in love with most of the recent and current models. My XK interests came while visiting Lake Bluff Jaguar (North Chicago) back in 2014 when a wonderful sales lady let me sit in a few new XK's and the new F-Type. Recently, my wife agreed to let me work an XK in exchange for the XF so I went on the hunt. I never thought I would find a way to actually get an XK-R, but I did. Purchased in Dallas area after a friend inspected and test drove it - it arrived via transport a week later. I admit I'm still learning about this particular XK-R. After reading a lot on the X150 pages and calling Jaguar (and using TOPIx), I believe this car includes Dynamic Pack and Speed Pack along with the Black Pack (lots of 'packs'). I've tried to find an original MSRP but I haven't taken it to a dealership yet to beg someone to look it up. Maybe you guys can tell me if this car is what I think it is? Regardless, I was locked in after seeing the red/black leather combo and the price had recently been dropped a couple thousand. I love the car and am blown away with how much power it has. I've driven a good number of fast sports cars over my 30 years of driving but this one is probably the quickest to 60 - at least it sounds and feels that way. I did manage to destroy a newer Camaro SS (twice) who was begging me to race a 0 to 60 on our 4 lane stop-light packed highway. It was late in the evening, few cars, and I did not exceed 65 at any time (for those safety conscience people out there). The second time, with the Camaro given a car length head start, I was in front by 40 MPH. WOW! Anyway, here she is!
Finding the exact specification shouldn't be a problem. My dealer printed off the four page factory build sheet on my 2015MY XK 'Signature' for me.
I can see you've already found your way to the X150 forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.

Yes. Jag's fangs.
Once bitten there's No escape. Usually it's Love at first Bite.
Congratulations on your new Jaguar! Pretty Car! But I would say that as it's BLACK!!
